  • Manhattan Office Market
    Manhattan Offi ce Market 2 ND QUARTER 2015 REPORT A NEWS RECAP AND MARKET SNAPSHOT Pictured: 1001 Avenue of the Americas Looking Ahead Partnership for New York City: New York’s Future as the World Financial Capital The report released in June concluded that while New York City remains the preferred location of global fi nancial companies to establish their headquarters, there is a growing trend to relocate jobs and business operations to lower cost, more business-friendly locations that are beyond the city’s border. A comprehensive survey was conducted in collaboration with Gerson Lehrman Group (GRG), intending to better understand how the fi nancial industry is evolving; and what measures are required to solidify New York’s competitive advantage as a global fi nancial center. Collected data represents an overview of the responses from 50-fi rm respondents that included large banks, insurance companies and asset managers, private equity fi rms, hedge funds, and fi nancial technology (FinTech) startups; and represent about 1/3rd of the total industry employment in the city. Additionally, observations were included from 8-real estate fi rms that were surveyed; along with interviews from other related experts in the fi eld. Financial Industry – an economic snapshot • Contributes 20% of the city’s economic output, representing twice that of the next top-grossing industry. • Accounts for nearly 1/3rd of the city’s private sector payroll, despite accounting for only 8%, or about 310,000 of the city’s private sector jobs in 2013; of which 23,000 jobs are high-technology in the areas of software, data processing and network management.

  • Terry Helgesen Collection
    152 N. York St., 2nd Floor, Elmhurst, IL 60126 historictheatres.org Finding Aid for the TERRY HELGESEN COLLECTION Acc. #: xx-005 Future Additions Expected: No Finding Aid creation: August 17, 2010 Size: 10.5 linear feet (approx.) Abstract The Terry Helgesen Collection contains 26 oversize scrapbooks, some correspondence, several draft chapters of a book on theatres, and an oil painting of a young Terry Helgesen. The scrapbooks consist of photographs and drawings of theatres collected by THS member Terry Helgesen with his descriptions of the theatres and other information such as number of seats, architect, opening and closing dates, renovation and demolition dates, and other notable facts. Background Information Terry Helgesen (1914-1995) was a pianist who played on stage in the waning days of presentation houses (a short stage show followed by a movie) as well as in nightclubs. Terry was also a THS Founding member and the 1979 Member of the Year. He was born in Seattle, WA but his family moved to Santa Barbara, CA when he was still very young. He was tutored in piano by Roger Clerbois and Joseph Hoffman, among others. Terry entered vaudeville (variety entertainment with a mixture of comedy, song and dance) in a “tyke” act called “Terry and Ty” with Terry playing a miniature piano and Ty doing a quick-step. Though Terry started as part of an act, he later changed to accompaniment and played on the Orpheum, Fanchon & Marco and Publix circuits. During his travels he sought out newspapers and photographers who had images of theatres which he purchased and assembled into scrapbooks.

    landmarks Preservation Conunission December 5, 1989; Designation List 222 IP-1661 MASTER BUIIDING, 310-312 Riverside Drive, Borough of Manhattan. Built 1928- 29; architect Harvey Wiley Corbett of the finn of Helmle, Corbett & Harrison with sugarrnan & Berger, associated architects. landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1890, IDt 40. On April 19, 1988, the landmarks Preservation Conunission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a landmark of the Master Building and the proposed designation of the related landmark site (Item No. 11). '!he hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Eleven witnesses spoke in favor of designation, and one expressed uncertainty. '!he owners and tenants, at the time of the public hearing, were unsure about their position on designation due to the impending conversion of the property to a ccx:>peratively--avvned building. '!he ccx:>p board has since that time communicated to the Conunission a position in favor of designation. DESCRIPI'ION AND ANALYSIS 'Ihe Master Building, erected in 1928-29 to house an apartment hotel and musellltl, is an innovative and significant example of the work of Harvey Wiley Corbett, an architect influential in skyscraper design, and expresses his successful employment of sculptural massing, vertical emphasis, and the minbn.3.1, yet elegant, use of surface ornamentation and historically-inspired detailing. '!he design of the building includes many strong and well- integrated features representative of the best of New York City's Art Deco style skyscrapers, including patterned brickwork which varies in color from dark at the base to light at the tower, setbacks, irregular and faceted massing of the upper stories, and an ornamental cap.
